i am a former PE fan and still think very highly of the PE line. However, given the price and the selection Vanguard wins

First it blew me away how much variety there is to the creed. so many differnt 1 of ___ and you arent paying $150 for the limiteds..big plus, i have a 1 of 1 creed and paid the same as for a normal marker

second, packaging. i thought PE gave an awesome tools kit, the Creed has everything but the thanksgiving trimmings! seriously. if you play internationaly, you have the conversion kits to charge anywhere in the world, very nice

third: sound signature is nice, there were times where i couldnt tell i was shooting onless i was watching my line of paint, much more quiet than the PE line and this gun isnt even broken in yet

4th: my biggest complaint about the PE was the drop at the end of the shot. the creed has no drop at all, it is a strait shot all the way till the end and has the nice grual fade..

over all, just an amazing gun and you cant beat the price. the Customer service is the best. Eric (shootnpoo) and Kat are more than willing to answer any questions you have and just make the entire creed community mesh

a friend of mine let me shoot his new creed back in 09 and i was amazed. it shot so smooth and felt real nice in my hands. i cant describe out it feels and shoots other than perfect. the creed is VERY easy to clean and take care of. i myself am not a gun tech but i can take apart the creed, clean it and put it back together again with no problems at all. i would compare it a lot to an infinity legend minus the kick. it's just as easy to take care of. i really like the fact that creeds come with a barrel kit. thats a real nice feature. the wall charger is pretty baller to. i honestly cant decide wether or not i like it better than my old luxe. i hope this review was somewhat helpful.

One of the best shooting markers that I have ever owned. That being said, they need to spend more time on their quality control before shipping the markers out the door. The anodizing was very thin on some areas from the factory and the eye covers had to be bent to go flush with the marker. The LCD also had a line of dead pixels from the factory but that was replaced by vanguard service. The marker was very easy to maintain and shot very well. The accessories that came with the marker were a bit of overkill, but fun nonetheless.

My main complaint is that they produced the V1 creed (which was acknowledged to be ****) and just replaced them. I managed to get my hands on a V1 unknowingly, and there were no parts available. Basically, Vanguard told me I was "unwise for investing in such an outdated gun" ...Outdated? It was produced a year before you told me that?!

I first saw the Creed at HB 2010. My first thought was "what the heck is this"? I listened to them as they said it would shoot better than my ego so I said let me try it. I usedone for one practice and can say that it shoots better than my ego, dm, and timmy. Also with Vanguard's customer service, I have never had a problem getting parts or advice on how to take care of it. for the price, it is definetely one of the best marker deals around.

i absolutely love this marker. it shoots and feels great. only complaint so far is the back rubber panel that covers the charging port does break off.

air usage is great i get about 1700 shots per tank. the barrel kit that comes with it is decent even though i don't use it. ergonomics of marker are great it feels solid in the hands and not cheap by any means. i have found that it needs a little more care then most poppet valve markers.
all in all a great buy if you get a chance to pick one up do it you wont regret it.

vanguard could have done a little better on the milling but its still very light, another thing is are that the grips feel kinda cheep otherwise very good job vanguard. 9/10
